The key to surviving summer is hydration. Ever since I bought myself one of these giant stainless steel water bottles, I’ve been drinking more water. I’ve noticed that my skin feels a lot better, I’m not as hungry as I usually am throughout the day, and my headaches have calmed down a bit. Moral of the story: DRINK WATER! I’ve also been eating my weight in watermelon. Watermelons are 92 percent water (and 6 percent sugar) and they’re a delicious way to stay cool and hydrated. Upon buying giant watermelons, I’ll slice them into chunks. Half gets thrown in the freezer and I happily devour the remaining half with chili salt.

No fancy equipment needed, just a blender. However, if you have one of those slurpee machines (frozen daiquiri machines), can I come over and hang out?

Add frozen seedless watermelon chunks, frozen peach slices, a touch of agave nectar, and an entire bottle of chilled rosé wine. Blend until smooth. And volià! You’ve got your own homemade slushie. This watermelon peach frosé is what summer should taste like. It’s cold, refreshing, and just a tad sweet. I’m not fan of adding ice to blended drinks. The ice eventually melts and dilutes the drink. (Same reason why I don’t add ice to my smoothies.) By omitting ice and using frozen fruits, you’re adding texture and flavor.

I used Sofia rosé. It’s a pinot noir based rosé wine that’s crisp yet dry. I suggest it for this recipe, otherwise use a darker, full bodied rosé. If you use a light or pale rosé, it’s flavors may get lost among the fruit.

What have we learned today? The three steps for a great summer are: 1. drink plenty of water, 2.) eat all the watermelon, and 3.) enjoy a glass of watermelon peach frosé at least twice before September. CHEERS!

It is so darn hot here in California right now, and as soon as I saw your recipe for Watermelon Peach Frose, I knew I had to have one. I’ve just adjusted my weekend grocery list to include the ingredients for these wonderful, refreshing drinks!
